ENHANCED TRANSCRIPTION OF AUDIO DATA WITH PUNCTUATION MARKINGS BASED ON SILENCE DURATIONS

A method and process for using subsequent analysis of an audio recording to improve the punctuation of a transcribed audio file that has been processed by a transcription (speech to text) service or process. Features are disclosed for assessing audio data and transcription information to enhance the punctuation or capitalization of the words detected therein. The timing information received from a service transcribing the audio may be compared with audio analysis of the original audio data to identify words likely to be associated with punctuation or capitalization. The features generate a transcript with improved semantic and syntactic accuracy over the transcript received from the transcription service.
